Two People Injured in Brick Township Motorcycle Accident

Two Brick Township residents suffered injuries when the motorcycle they were riding on ran a red light at the intersection of Herbertsville Road and Route 70 in the Township Sunday night, according to police. 

The driver, 48-year-old William Antal, and his passenger, 44-year-old Tammy McVicker, were thrown from the Harley Davidson when Police said they struck a vehicle turning left and veered off the road and into a traffic signal control box.

Antal and McVicker were transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. Antal suffered bruised ribs and a foot injury, police said, while McVicker suffered a compound fracture in the left leg and a laceration to the right forearm.
